Home for the weekend

I feel like I have been going out so much this past few weeks that my body is exhausted and rebelling. On weeknights, I seem to be an insomniac and can't get to bed until the late hours only to have to wake up around 6:30 for work. On weekends, I don't get home til 4 and then sleep until noon - also not healthy sleeping habits.

So in lieu of "saying yes" to the various opportunities for going out this weekend, I decided to go home to my parent's house (only around an hour plus travel time from my apartment, thankfully) and sleep the weekend away, hang out with my pups, eat great food, and catch up with my siblings. All in all, zero regrets. I have little things to get done anyway.

One of those things is my NYJL one page bio. I don't know what to write! It's like high school english class all over again. One page is by no means long, especially compared with the papers I've had to write all throughout college. But when this entire page is supposed to filled with what should be compelling information all about me? This is a challenge. What can I put on this page that will be witty and funny but not cheesy and really show the other NYJL provisionals and members who I am? Ahhhh, I better get working.

Productive weekend: Worked out, ate good food, watched a romantic comedy, caught up with an old friend, blogged (woo), slept, and am doing my "homework!"

STEELERS v JETS tomorrow.

2011 - Starting anew?

So much for consistently starting a blog. I'm not even sure what the "theme" of this blog is but with only three posts, I'm sure it's still open to interpretation. Whenever I have time, I like to follow SO many blogs: fashion blogs, mba blogs, law blogs, healthy eating blogs, etc. And originally, when starting this blog I wanted to have a culmination of all of those, but who am I kidding? That is just typical of me, over ambitious with grand ideas and impractical. I work 11 hours per day recently and when I am home, I definitely don't have time to catch up on others' blogs, grab inspiration from around the web and formulate my own opinions in a unique and interesting way for others.

So instead, I'm just going to write about ...whatever is on my mind.

Seeing as this is the first post of 2011, it's probably appropriate to elaborate on my expectations for this year and possibly resolutions?

Every year, I makes all of these do-able yet not so do-able resolutions and this year's is simple.

Say "yes" more often.

I don't want to be held back by myself any more. I've already made steps towards reaching this goal but I think that making a conscientious effort to actually get out there and do things will be good.

What I expect for 2011? Nothing too crazy and life changing, but maybe more finding myself and deciding what I want for my future: career wise. Little steps in life, right? Little steps that build into bigger ones?

I'm not usually so self reflective and emo-sounding (is this emo? haha) but after I found out that a once really close friend got engaged in the past week, I feel like everyone else is making huge moves with their lives and I'm sitting here twiddling my thumbs analyzing numbers all day. Yesterday, I didn't feel rushed or pressured at all about where I was/am/am going with my life in all aspects. But now, I'm realizing as more and more people are building... FAMILIES? along with their careers, I suddenly feel so ...not well rounded.

So anyway, here's to 2011, taking baby steps, and saying yes to all many opportunities that are around me (except for smoking with that weird emo/artsy guy that I met at a bar and is moving into the neighborhood) haha
